Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

never since it shouldnt have it

just like it shouldnt have the 27er

At this point they’d be wise to skip the M for tech tree and go straight to the MiG-35 which is supposed to be the most modernized 4++ version, kinda like how the F-18 Super Hornet succeeds the legacy hornet. Then they can just add the M to sub-tree or event/squadron vehicles for Egypt or who ever else uses it.

does it have 27er currently? yes/no.
if yes then there’s no reason it shouldn’t have the infrared version too

Considering Japan is gonna recieve everyone’s best toy I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens.

This doesn’t exist

… Or simply because the programs funding was cut before the prototypes could get their full electronic suites…

This is ignoring that afaik L-150 was having some huge funding and development issues in the 80s-90s (hence why besides a handful of Su-25Ts basically nothing got it)

Prototypes never get full suite. Look at Su-27 production, all T10 or T-10S airframes lack in full sensor suites. Even if program would go fruther - these specific airframes would still be in an incomplete configuration.

small model showing the two extra hardpoints planned for the MiG-35 bringing it up to 11 total, the idea never made it past model mock ups and advertising

Was kinda expecting the wingtips r-73s, though I’d bet at least the ones shown in the photo could carry small bombs or something

im surprised they even planned to fit an extra hardpoint under the wing since its already quite packed with 4 already

They made a big mistake not going for 2 extra slim pylon under intakes for r77 only.

practically scrapping the ground with the fins if you mount an R-77 under the intakes lol

Folder wing existed for so many years now.

Plus its only r77. Astra could work better. Aim120 basically any other missile

Dual racks are a better idea

cant work because they will be no space for the next pylon.

put 2 missiles behind each outher between the intakes
